Re: The Breaker : New Waves 69 Discussion / 70 Predictions

Hmm, I'm not sure whether this chapter deserves the facepalm I thought it'd deserve or not... The summary or trans'll have to decide, I guess. Still, I'm not happy that Shioon WAS still caught in the end

Re: The Breaker : New Waves 69 Discussion / 70 Predictions

True it was kind of embarrassing, but it shouldn't have been too unexpected either given both the difference in skill and Shioon's current state. Besides there may have been a little bit of a redeeming factor despite the situation with Shioon's spirit showing through even in that predicament. He probably explicitly stated that he was ready to forfeit his life rather than being a hostage for the clan.

There is one thing I have to note, Shioon has got to be sick and tired of being taken as a hostage in that way. Someone grabbing and squeezing his neck from the back should make him want to learn or devise a counter to avoid ever being in that very position again.

Re: The Breaker : New Waves 69 Discussion / 70 Predictions

@GMR I agree 100%

I like the fact that Gyu-Bum went for him. I also like the swipe that Shioon took at SF. But the fact that he was captive. Does anyone in this forum have doubts that Shioon could recover from a broken neck? I don't not one bit. Shoot in all the time that it took Gyu-Bum andShioon to attack SF. I think that would of given Kwon enough time. But that is neither here nor there because the author wanted it top layout this way.

I want to know to what purpose is all of this training Shioon is doing? Without a ki center he can never fight against true Murim. He has been told by everyone that his ki center is shattered and there is no hope of recovery. The genius doctor and down. I think Elder Kwon sent him to the hospital for the "tests" to get him off of his back.

Therefore from a strictly analytical stand point. Our favorite drugged up protagonist is going to keep popping the pills until something gives.

This chapter though disappointing in its let down of Shioons capture. This also is the only reading material I will get this week because of golden week. So highlights
Shioon fought back
Gyu-Bum fought back
Smug Face is hurt
And a question did Shioon use ki? What was that spiral thing around his punch?

Re: The Breaker : New Waves 69 Discussion / 70 Predictions

Don't know about you all but isn't this reuse getting boring, or frustrating? It's the same motif used for what the hundredth time? It's not even remotely interesting anymore to see the portrayal of pitiful and/or beaten to a pulp Shioon. Seen it, done it, every single arc... We get that the heavenly way clan guy is supposed to come off as a conceited douche bag, and that I guess when he gets hurt we are supposed to be happy and cheerful. But it just wasn't all that good.

That being said, I certainly hope there was some ground breaking dialogue, or plans set in motion which really do get the ball rolling.

The OG that ran Bleach for near a decade is no more.
Cheers to a boss villain, I tip my hat to you Aizen

It is frustrating, but at this point its not his fault. He doesn't have the use of his ki-center and hes only been training for 3 days. That screw-up was completely on Gyu-bum. What the hell was with the whole dramatic pause after he misses anyway?

Re: The Breaker : New Waves 69 Discussion / 70 Predictions

Even with a fixed Ki center Shioon will still be in that position because he's a noob!

he only learn 2 skills fromn GMR and to use those skills Shioon must be a pulp first so that the enemies will think that he is weak and lose their guard hahahaha that is the strategy that GMR give to Shioon

you have to be beaten to a pulp first then find the opponents weakness because they think that you are half dead and lose their guard hahahah 100% works

Re: The Breaker : New Waves 69 Discussion / 70 Predictions

Yay GyuBum whooooo~.

Smugface senses GyuBum about to attack him, and expresses shock that there's another monster in the SunWoo clan besides Kwon. He barely avoids, but doesn't change his objective, since getting ShiWoon is his only chance at life. He's surprised when ShiWoon tries to counterattack, but manages to avoid it and catch him. He says he'll kill ShiWoon if the SunWoo try anything.

Mamungi of course isn't very happy with this turn of events, and tells Smugface so, but Smugface says it's the only way to get out of this alive. He tries to tell Kwon that this isn't the intent of the alliance (in other words, Smugface is acting on his own violation, which is pretty much the truth) but Kwon's not someone you want to be talking to at the moment.

ShiWoon, on the other hand, has had enough of Smugface's bullshit and tells everyone to get the fucker instead of worrying about him. He tells Smugface that he's not going to submit, so Smugface decides to teach him the pain of death. Mamungi decides he's gotta do something to stop this, but then Kwon says he'll let Smugface and the rest leave as long as they let ShiWoon go and never appear in front of him again. If they don't, well...

"I'll obliterate not just you but the entire alliance."

So things get resolved. Mamungi tries to apologize to ShiWoon but ShiWoon just ignores him.

In the car, an Alliance mook asks Smugface why he took ShiWoon captive. What results in a brilliant exchange of logical thoughts by which I mean it's pathetic and shows you why you should never have Smugface in your debate team.

Q: Why did you take the clan head captive?
A: Because that was the only way to get away.

Q: But none of this would have happened if you hadn't gone barging into the SunWoo clan like a fucking fool, right?
A: RAGEQUIT CAN'T YOU SEE THE SUNWOO CLAN IS LOOKING DOWN ON YOU GRAAAAAAAAAAAAR FUCK Y'ALL I'M GETTING OUT OF THE CAR BECAUSE I'M A RAGEQUITTING PUSSY WHO CAN'T WIN IN A FIGHT OR AN ARGUMENT.

But no seriously Smugface's argument is hella weak. His excuse is basically this: "The alliance asked ChunDoMoon for help and then have the balls to say we're at fault?"

OF COURSE YOU'RE AT FAULT YOU STUPID FUCKER WHAT THE FUCKING FUCK MAN.

Of course, ragequitting out of the car seems to be an excuse to hide the fact that he's taken a ton of damage from Kwon.

Then the phone call comes, and it turns out that Smugface's plan was to drive a rift between the Alliance and the SunWoo clan, and he tells the Mysterious Masked Mustache to ensure that the two will never be able to team up ever again. Which probably worked I'll give him props for that even though he's a shitty debater seriously I failed my Logic 101 and even I have a better grasp of it than he does.

"Then, we'll use the hostility between the two to complete our mission!"
